Turk’s team is dedicated to preparing student-athletes for life after the game. Our mission is to encourage, inspire, and enrich both student-athletes and students who aspire to pursue careers in the sports industry, by educating and edifying them through financial literacy. TURK Sports outreach initiative is to expose youths to opportunities available to them beyond the field from the perspective of ownership, executives, management, and coaching. Our goal is to specifically target inner-city youths who are most often neglected and have limited resources and opportunities.
